I read an article recently where grazing is good for grassland, as long as the grazing animals are moved around and not left to overgraze. The grassland and grass eaters evolved together and each benefit one another, as long as it's not overdone. And in the day when herds migrated to get the best grass, it worked well. So in some places they are rotating pastures to try to mimic the natural order of things.
When the steer go to the feedlot they are fed lots of Genetically Modified Corn. Even non-GMO corn is bad for the beef.
Corn fed beef is not as good for us either. It raises the omega 6 acids, destroys the CLA, and so on. Plus it isn't good for the steer (although the steer doesn't have time to feel the effects).
Add the GMO corn and the beef get even worse, eating tons of Round-up herbicide, and passing it on to the beef buyer, and ingesting the insecticide that has been put in the corn's DNA and passing that insecticide on to you.
Properly managed grassland and grass fed beef is good for the steer, good for the environment, and good for the end consumer (us).
I only buy grass-fed, organic beef. It costs a little more, but I'm worth it.
